The Autobiographical Story of the Opening of the Far North There was a time not so very long ago when the Hudson’s Bay Company ruled the north. A time of silky furs, Indian skirmishes, canoes, “jawbone”, dog sleds, traps, and sourdoughs. Adventure came easy in this silent land of the far north. Henry John Moberly surely had plenty of it. Nearly 50 years he spent among the native and white trappers as a fur trader, trapper, hunter, and explorer. Moberly opened many of HBC’s most remote Trading Posts. The struggles of the north, the unbearable cold, the humor of the frontiersmen, the ...

Over half a century ago, John Rowlands set out by canoe into the wilds of Canada to survey land for a timber company. After paddling alone for several days, he came upon "the lake of my boyhood dreams", which he named Cache Lake because there was stored the best that the north had to offer-timber for a cabin; fish, game, and berries to live on; and the peace and contentment he felt he could not live without.

WHEN THE NEAREST NEIGHBOUR IS FIFTY KILOMETRES AWAY, THERE IS NO ONE COMING TO SAVE YOU.

"A light, fun read with an eccentric cast of characters who bring the village of MacIntyre's Gulch to delightful life." —Lisa Cach, author of "Wake Unto Me" McIntyre’s ...

In a time when these values were unspoken of, Canada was the first country to embrace an official multiculturalism policy.

A Sweeping History of Newfoundland & Labrador Before there was a Canada, there was Newfoundland. For five hundred years, this wind-scoured island and its vast continental hinterland occupied a unique and turbulent place in the story of the Atlantic world — as the site of the first European landfall in the Americas, the source of a fishery that fed nations, and the home of peoples whose lives were shaped, and sometimes destroyed, by forces far beyond their shores. In The Big Land, Daniel Hardy tells the full story of Newfoundland and Labrador with the sweep it deserves and the intimacy it ...
